Not sure there is a better resource than the Full Fat RR UK forum - well worth a travel through - and ofcourse here !
The 2016 does not have Adblu (assuming you are thinking diesel) and as a result gets the 105l fuel tank (versus 87 I think for a Adblu equipped vehicles); I have a 2017 SDV8 which is a magnificent engine and the car has been extremely reliable and a magnificent long distance tourer.
2013 models are getting on a bit now - almost 10 years old gulp! - so I guess 2016 onwards is probably a good idea.
You can add some subtle mods to make it a very capable off road car if you want - albeit I can count on one hand how many I have seen off road (other than beach and outback touring); mine has dual batteries (cars without rear airconditioning can fit these with ease behind LHS boot panel) with Redarc DCDC, Anderson plugs and Redarc gauge, LLAMS, Rival bash plates, hidden UHF, tow pro etc and I fitted 20’s with 275/5520 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for “off road” (outback trips), albeit I haven’t had much chance to do much of that thanks to Covid etc ….,
I use 22’s around town.
The Adblu issue hasn’t bothered me as much as I thought it might TBH so I don’t think I’d let that put you off a post MY16 car - budget permitting - as these cars are holding their values pretty well at the moment given lack of new inventory); will be interesting to see if SDV8’s hold values given they are no longer available.
I’m in Brisbane- so feel free to PM if you want to chat more or look over mine.
